The 10 Stages Of Procrastination In College

Frick, I didn’t go to office hours.

The 10 Stages Of Procrastination In College
Maeve Armstrong

I, like several people, suffer from procrastination. I wish I wasn't like this, but it’s in my blood. My mother and her mother also suffered from this awful way of life.

I have tried and tried to improve and work ahead only to find myself even more behind. I need that little monster on my back at all times, or I will lay on the couch even longer! I wish it wasn’t this way.

I have peers who work far, far in advance, but I never understand why they would do such a thing. Don’t they get tired of other deadlines, do they ever socialize, do they ever take naps??

Procrastination might suck when it’s midnight at the library but watching a whole season of Greys (which I have already seen before) was totally worth it… right?

1. Professor gives you your project


It is two weeks away. I have other assignments to do and other social events I must attend! I have plenty of time to work on it this weekend. Plus I am still working on my other assignments due way before this one.

2. Only uses a laptop on the weekend for Netflix


I have had a long week! A Cosmo quiz told me I don’t give myself enough time to relax so no work on the weekends, right?

3. Sunday Scaries


I honestly am so worn out from my busy, busy social life. Can’t I just have a break and lay horizontal for a day?? Plus I have a Dr. Jart face mask I have been dying to use.

4. Professor offers to look at drafts during office hours


I know, I know. I always say I am going to go to office hours and get my professors excellent advice and feedback on my project, but this time I am going to do it!

5. Library session


I may or may not going to hang out with my friends and look at the hot boys that happen to be studying too. Ooh, and Starbucks, I haven’t been there for at least two days. I deserve a $4 specialty drink!

6. Sunday Scaries 2.0


Okay, I don’t even know what I did this weekend. I guess I'll look at my Snapchat for evidence? Weird, it says I was only at Two Keys...

7. Week project is due


Frick, I didn’t go to office hours.

8. 48 hours


OK, I can do half now and half tomorrow. No biggie. I have nothing else to do but do this so let's get to it gfriend.

9. 24 Hours


Or, I can do it all today, I guess. Not ideal but I had such a busy weekend (laying around eating pizza all day). I needed a day recovery from doing nothing and stalling!!

10. 4 a.m. at the library


Finally finished! I knew I could do it. I work way better under pressure anyway. I feel great. Woohoo, go me!! I don't need a lot of sleep anyway.

11. Misses class from sleep deprivation

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
